This story is absolutely amazing...

Want to share with the forum. What a cute little guy and so surreal to see. 1 in every 80,000 births, wow.

Saw this on "Call the Midwife" show, they called it a mermaid birth i think, no idea why

Never seen it, but heard of it happening a few times!

I worked at a birth center for 9 months and it happened twice while I was there, but to me it makes sense since birth centers/and midwives are more off-hands and usually avoid AROM.
